Spoliers Warning:

If they plan on focusing so much on the poker scenes, at least make it look like a real poker game. There's no raise / re-raise, ppl just check / call.

How the hell could you flip an AM like that? It's no Ford Explorer.

When the entire building colapse into the water, how the hell could you have such clear water in the last scene.

I thought Bond suppose to be a calm and smart gentleman, but this film seems to portait him as quite the opposite.

Anyways, at least I didn't feel rip off when leaving the theater, so I'll rate it a 6/10.
He wasn't suppose to be "Bondish" anyways. Remember, this was the beginning on Bond, the first book in Ian Fleming's novels.

For me, easily 8 out of 10, if not 9 out of 10.

I agree with other's that it is the best Bond since Golden Eye.
